It is a stretch of rolling hills, with lush herbaceous vegetation and sparsely dotted shrubs at the foot and mountainside. Only on some leeward and sunny slopes with rich soil can some scattered arbor forests be seen.
Further down the hills, overlooking the valley bottom to the south, it is filled with smog and swamps all year round. Sunlight seems to have difficulty penetrating the poisonous fog of this swamp. Countless dragonflies and soybeans fly in and out of the dark mist, and the entire valley bottom reveals There is a mysterious and ominous atmosphere.
This is the swamp where the parasitic ants are entrenched, and it is also a swamp that the hunter ants dislike very much. They cannot survive in it for a long time, and they have to defend it against the constant attacks of the enemies inside.
If all the tribes had not reached a consensus that the "Doomsday War" was about to break out, the vast majority of the ant-hunting warriors would never have come to this place in their lifetime.
The indigenous alliance of hunting sickle ants is stationed on the hills on the north, east and west sides of the swamp. Of course, they call themselves the "Holy Allies".
Thousands of ant-hunting warriors actually dispersed the camp into one large group, which showed the looseness of this alliance.
Although from a military point of view, an overly loose alliance camp is very unfavorable for defense, the ants prefer to keep a distance from their neighbors.
The hunter ants originally like to live in small-scale tribes, and conflicts often break out between neighboring tribes. Although under the influence of ancient traditions and faced with their old parasitic enemies, the indigenous hunter ant tribe who received the news They all sent soldiers, but they could not completely eliminate the internal conflicts.
The tribes that had fought fierce battles didn't like each other, so they stationed themselves far away from each other; the legendary great tribes from deep in the hills were not willing to get too close to other tribes, so they chose to station their camps in Slightly higher altitudes; and the coalition camp area originally belonged to some local tribes. With the entry of the coalition forces, a large number of nearby prey were captured for military rations, which would also affect the harvest of these tribes' territories, which would naturally cause dissatisfaction.
Despite all the contradictions, the hunting ants are still able to remain united in the face of the parasitic ants that attack from time to time. One has to admire their traditional cohesion.
But what kind of harsh external environment could force the ants to develop a tradition of abandoning so many complex contradictions to fully respond to external threats?
——I am the dividing line——
Kite and a small group of ant-hunting ant scout warriors under his command were stationed in the middle of the loose camp. To the south was the swamp where the enemy appeared, and there were allied camps on all sides.
The location of this camp can take care of all directions, and it is also more convenient to communicate with all parties and obtain information on weekdays.
Ever since he followed the protagonist's orders and led a small team of soldiers to infiltrate the aboriginal ant-hunting alliance, the kite has been continuously passing back important information.
At the same time, this period of time was also the most nourishing period for Kite. From being filled with fear of certain death after being captured by the God Envoy King's army, to being inexplicably surrendered and not having to worry about food, clothing and winter every day, to being super promoted to become fifty warriors that I could not even imagine before. Commander, Kite has had a lot of ups and downs in the past two years.
He is already quite young, and as a male ant that is not taken seriously in the ant-hunting society, he has also developed the ability to speculate, which allowed him to quickly adapt to his new status and identity.
Before infiltrating the "Holy Allies" coalition forces to lurk, the God Envoy King himself had a face-to-face exchange with Kite, which also made Kite realize that his current status comes from the trust of the protagonist. Once he loses trust, he will still be the only one who can only The humble male ant that eats scraps is even worse than before.
Therefore, the kite performed extremely hard.
When he first arrived at the coalition camp, the ants from other tribes he occasionally came into contact with would openly show their contempt for the male ants. Even if the number of soldiers under his command exceeded 80% to 90% of the tribes, he could not dispel this contempt.
But in the battles with parasitic ants, not only did the warriors under Kite's command perform extremely bravely, but also the combat effectiveness of the trained organization was much stronger than those of the same kind who were used to fighting alone. Even Kite himself was also very brave. Reversing the impression that male ants are cowards in the eyes of allies.
In every battle, kites appear on the front line, and in a society that hunts ferocious ants, male ants are considered to be cowards kept in the nest. If it is not to ensure the reproduction of the tribe, it will have no use.
Kite had indeed played this role before, a coward who never thought that one day he would be on the battlefield.
However, his time in the Angel King's legion made him realize that among the Angel King's race, male ants are the highest-ranking class and are also the commanders on the battlefield. This subtle influence influenced him, allowing him to slowly change his role.
On the battlefield, although Kite's mouthparts are not as huge and sharp as those of female ants, his physical strength is not as good as that of his younger ants, and his huge body does not give it greater combat effectiveness.
But a male ant standing on the front line of the battlefield was originally a subversive event in the ant-hunting society. And this male ant dared to fight face-to-face with the terrifying and hateful parasitic ants. Over time, it naturally left a mark in the hearts of its allies. An indelible impression.
To be honest, Kite's performance in combat is mediocre, but he can't stand up to the soldiers under his command who are all like wolves and tigers. In the frequent small and medium-sized battles with parasitic ants that currently break out, it's all about cutting melons and vegetables.
As a result, the rumor that the "tribe" to which Kite belongs is so tough that even male ants can fight in battle soon spread throughout the coalition forces. They are even regarded as the same as the "legendary tribe" by the scythe-hunting ants who worship the brave. the existence of status.
——I am the dividing line——
Today, after receiving intelligence from the scouts, another group of hundreds of parasitic ants appeared at the foot of our camp. The ant-hunting warriors responsible for reporting the news ran all the way, beating and shaking every hole in the temporary camp of the tribal army. Abdomen, sending out warning signals.
After receiving the signal, the coalition soldiers quickly dispatched, followed the pheromones left by the messenger in the opposite direction, and soon gathered at the foot of the mountain.
More than a hundred ant-hunting warriors who gathered together quickly found traces of the group of parasitic ants and immediately launched an attack.
The coalition forces use Kite and his soldiers as the center, which is an affirmation of the tribe that is the most brave and good at fighting. The other soldiers cooperate on the two wings.
The parasitic ants in front of them were quickly killed as if they were chopping melons and vegetables, and the parasitic fungi that had fallen off and tried to get close to the warriors hunting sickle ants were also carefully killed.
The combat effectiveness of these parasitic ants is, for some reason, much weaker than Kite's impression.
